1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In order to function on the ribosome with uniform rate and adequate accuracy, each bacterial tRNA has evolved to have a characteristic sequence and set of modifications that compensate for the differing physical properties of its esterified amino acid and its codon-anticodon interaction. The sequence of the T-stem of each tRNA compensates for the differential effect of the esterified amino acid on the binding and release of EF-Tu during decoding. The sequence and modifications in the anticodon loop and core of tRNA impact the codon-anticodon strength and the ability of the tRNA to bend during codon recognition. These discoveries impact the design of tRNAs for the efficient and accurate incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins using bacterial translation systems.
